EX PARTE QUINCY DESHAN BUTLER


On Appeal from the 240th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 06-DCR-044367

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Quincy Deshan Butler, acting pro se, attempts to appeal the dismissal of his application for a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus by the Court of Criminal Appeals because he has discharged his sentence. Our Court, however, lacks jurisdiction to review the dismissal of a habeas application by the Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07, § 3(a) (West 2015) ("After final conviction in any felony case, the writ must be made returnable to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas at Austin, Texas"); TEX. CONST. art. V, § 5(a) (unless provided otherwise, Court of Criminal Appeals has final appellate jurisdiction in criminal cases). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Bland, and Brown. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
